While there is no physical evidence, in Susan’s case, that ties Josh to her disappearance, there is substantial implied evidence that makes him an incredibly likely suspect.

This confused the police because why would she leave her phone if she planned on going out by herself?

He had something pulled over his face, some kind of ski mask, and he was holding a long metal baseball bat in both hands, like a murder weapon… The man in the ski mack leaned farther out the window.

While he stands to look at the greasy character in the dirt, he envisions headlines, pitted faces of police interrogators, the glow of handcuffs, clank of metal bars, and the big black windows rising from the back of the cell (Boyle).
